I was in the same boat as you but my trailer only maxed out at 7100 lbs. My tv was a F150 3.55 rear end and the tow package. I to was trying to pull a 30 foot trailer with a 10000 e2. The truck pulled great but it could not handle the trailer side to side action caused by semi`s. I fixed that with bilstien shocks , an equalizer 4 pt. sway control hitch and load range E tires. Truck was now stable for this size and weight trailer but did not solve the 1730 max pay load. I had to lock out sixth gear even where I live but the truck pulled it fine but felt like it was close to being maxed out. Will it do it? I think so, but I never felt relaxed after the experience with the e2. I can tell you it ain`t fun when the trucks sway control kicks in and you have a stone barrier on one side and a big semi on the other. With a half ton, with me any size truck, I want the best sway control I can afford.
